Great house. Wish the patio furniture had been in a little better shape.

Great house in a great location. Short walk to the waterfront and great restaurants. Would definitely recommend.

The house is a "GEM"!!

Perfectly located, it's close to everything; the ferry, the shops, the bars, the restaurants. We spent our time exploring the Island on foot. The house exceeded our expectations! The host, David was so great! He answered promptly to my texts when i had questions. I definitely recommend it!

Quaint and clean!

Adorable house, well stocked and very clean. The house location is a stones throw from downtown Oak Bluff, easily accessible to beach and restaurants. Beautiful tranquil backyard and homeowner readily available to respond to any questions. Great choice!

Lovely house

We were 3 couples in town for a wedding and this place was perfect for us. We had plenty of space and it was very clean, well stocked for cooking and has a lovely, cosy island feel to it. We didn’t get to explore much but we did have a little walk around the great neighbourhood and it was only a short walk to the beach. We would definitely come back for a longer time next time

Early spring stay

Charming home in a great location close to town. Home appeared to not have been used for a bit and cleaned before arrival as the surfaces were pretty dusty. Otherwise, everything was great

Lovely stay!

We have been coming to the island every year since I was a kid and have been staying in OB at the same house for over 10. This was the first year in a long time we stayed somewhere new and this was a great find! Quiet location with easy, walkable access to downtown, inkwell beach, and niantic park for the little ones. Everything was clean, kitchen and linens fully stocked. Bikes and beach toys available as well! Separate cottage was great for my parents who could get some rest since my little ones were up very very early! Property manager was very communicative, reaching out upon check in to make sure everything was okay. We needed to replace a light bulb and asked for a drying rack which was supplied the next day. He was also very communicative upon check out and understanding! Overall, a great experience and definitely would recommend for families with young children.

Lovely house, but stay marred by mice

Delightful house; great location. Unfortunately, our visit was marred by 3 mouse sightings over 2 days. Owner was responsive and personally came out to place multiple mouse traps in the home. Initially, my wife was quite uncomfortable staying there and annoyed we had to deal with mice on our luxurious vacation. When she expressed this to the owner, he called her "condescending." That was poor customer service on his part. It seemed he didn't understand the magnitude of the situation and felt she was overreacting. Owner attempted to find us another place to stay, but the houses were smaller, not nearly as nice and most were up-island. Given that 2 days of our stay were marred by the observance of mice and we felt an overall discomfort throughout the week knowing we were staying in a home that had a mouse infestation, and we had to be repeatedly interrupted by visits throughout the week from the caretaker and owner, we requested a refund for 2 nights; however, the owner refused, ultimately agreeing to refund just 1 night.

My Annual Retreat

I’ve been enjoying David’s home on the island for years -– it is my go-to second home. Very comfortable sleeping arrangements; the master bedroom has a porch, perfect for a quiet early morning coffee. The house is an ideal size for me and friends, has a well-equipped kitchen for our favorite home-cooked meals, and a ready-to-fire-up gas grill on the back deck, which has a large patio umbrella table, great for a family cookout. The yard is large enough to kick around a soccer ball; or the kids (and dogs) can get their energies out in the park right next to the house. Also, the outdoor shower is roomy and private. The house is situated in a quiet residential neighborhood, yet close enough to all the attractions in downtown Oak Bluffs, such as the Gingerbread Cottages, The Game Room and Flying Horses Carousel. A simple 5-7 minute walk, don’t bother driving to town! Inkwell and State beaches are a 5 minute drive. If you don’t feel like cooking, walk to Circuit Ave for an amazing variety of restaurant options. Smok N Bones BBQ ribs is a block away, as well as Tony’s Market for sundries, sandwiches and wine. David is an extremely gracious, attentive and conscientious host. Always a phone call or text away. 14 Shawmut Ave is my home away from home. I book my favorite 3 weeks a year in advance!

Close to Ferry and Beach

We enjoyed this home very much. The host was helpful and responsive. It's next to a small trail that eventually leads to the ocean. It's great if you're a runner.

October on the Vineyard

Dave, the property owner was extremely accommodating. He went out of his way to procure bikes for us to use. The property was exactly as listed. Cute, clean, central to Oaks Bluff and Vinehaven. We had a stellar experience!

Perfect House

From booking to the moment we left, we had a perfect stay. The listing was accurate and the owner was wonderful to communicate with. The house was spotless, and just right for our needs. The location was accessible to all that Oak Bluffs has to offer- all within easy walking distance. We would not hesitate to stay here again. Thank you for a marvelous stay!

Family Weekend Getaway

We brought 4 adults and 3 kids to stay for a long weekend and had a great time. David was a great host, extremely accommodating and great communication. The house itself was extremely conveniently located just a short walk from Oaks Bluff. The house itself had a big kitchen and lounge space with plenty of room for everyone. We enjoyed our visit and would definitely recommend renting this house. We look forward to our next visit! Thanks David!
